Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Adolf Hitler
Used in	Global usage
Review (criteria)	Oppose The scope should be a Commons category. Subject falls into several. In which is it being nominated? Rodhullandemu (talk) 22:59, 17 June 2019 (UTC)  Comment “Adolf Hitler,” just like the scope of File:Albert Einstein Head.jpg was “Albert Einstein.” Fluffy89502 ~ talk^ 03:19, 18 June 2019 (UTC) ** Comment Then please link to the scope rather than the Wikipedia article. Rodhullandemu (talk) 07:28, 18 June 2019 (UTC) *** Done The category has been linked since my previous comment. My apologies for failing to notify you of that. Fluffy89502 ~ talk^ 05:53, 20 June 2019 (UTC)  Comment - There are loads of photos of Hitler. What makes this one the best? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:10, 20 June 2019 (UTC)  Oppose This is literally a Nazi propaganda photo. There are better images showing what Hitler looked like without such a strong propaganda element. Nick-D (talk) 10:43, 20 June 2019 (UTC)  Comment - I'd argue that this image is still one of the most valuable images within the scope. The Wikipedia article about Hitler uses this image in the infobox about him while notwithstanding the propaganda element of the image. The image is one of the most used photographs of him too, along with the propaganda element generally seen as not that big of a relevancy against the prevalent usage of the image. I'd argue against an image such as File:Pyongyang Mural.jpg on the basis of propaganda, not an image such as this one. Fluffy89502 ~ talk^ 23:35, 21 June 2019 (UTC)  Comment - I think that propaganda mural is significant in its genre, and there's a hell of a lot of important art that's propaganda. I just doubt it makes sense to pick a single image as the one and only best in scope for much-photographed figures like Hitler and Dr. King. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:41, 22 June 2019 (UTC) Result: 0 support, 1 oppose => declined.
